- Foster innovation in the creative process
- Oftentimes in this industry people force creativity to align to schedules, when in reality it's a process of inspiration that's unable to be constrained into boxes. We want to foster that type of creativity even in a fast-paced environment. Making time to have the freedom of exploration and then having the ability to organize thoughts and document them will make us a stronger, more innovative team.
